Story
Winnie is a sweet, vocal girl who came to us as a hungry and pregnant stray in January 2025. We gave her a safe place to regain her health and have her litter of kittens. She is now spayed and her kittens have found their forever homes. She loves human company and knows her name well. She has a special love for wet food and churus, but also enjoys chattering with her humans and cheek scratches. She does not like other cats, which is why we need to find a new home for her for where she can feel secure as the only kitty in the household. Though she spent some time outdoors as a baby, she would be better suited to an indoor-only lifestyle, but she is microchipped just in case. // Likes: Human company, eating wet food with water mixed in, chatting back and forth with her humans, made-up songs with her name in it, and cheek scratches. // Dislikes: Other cats, dirty litter, and an empty food bowl.

Story
Timber is a fixed 7 y\o male. He was born from another cat of ours and raised indoors with some supervised outdoor time during summer months. He is very sweet to people and couldn't ever get enough attention and pets. Loves the lap time! He can get along with other cats and has been introduced to dogs but doesn't currently live with any dogs. He lives with 4 other cats and 2 humans. He tends to bully one of our other cats, thats why we're looking to rehome. Would do great in a home with a loving family that loves to play with cats and gives lots of attention and pets!

Story
Shed is a two year old cat who has been incredibly lovely, but after reintroduction of over three months, pheromones, isolation, and other solutions, she won’t get along with our other two cats. She was a foster kitten and born early September of 2024, her and three brothers were abandoned in a raspberry bush. She’s spayed, incredibly healthy, up to date on medication, has never had a hairball, never went potty outside the litter box, loves to play and cuddle, sleeps on your feet every night, and will even sing along with you. Genuinely, a perfect cat besides not getting along with our other cats. Looking for a loving home and assure she’ll be the easiest cat you’ve taken care of. She’s not food motivated and has never begged for human food. She’s been fine when we left her for vacation. She has never purposefully bitten, scratched, or attacked any human.

Story
Meet Bart: a wonderfully funky, playful cat with a big personality and even bigger curiosity. Bart loves hanging out with other cats and has lived successfully with feline friends before, so he’s very comfortable being part of a social crew.When it comes to playtime, Bart has his own unique style. Forget the basics - his absolute favorite activity is batting around floating “Halloween eyeballs” in bowls of water. It’s odd, it’s hilarious, and it’s so very Bart. He brings a goofy, entertaining energy to anything he does and keeps life interesting wherever he goes.If you’re looking for a cat who’s social, silly, and just a little bit weird in the best possible way, Bart is ready to bring his charm, antics, and watery toy obsession into a new home.
